    BackgroundLong non-coding RNA (lncRNA) can predict the prognosis of patients with various cancers. The relationship between lncRNA taurine upregulated gene 1 (TUG1) and the prognosis of patients with gastric carcinoma still needs to be further explored. Therefore, this study attempted to explore the relationship between TUG1 and the prognosis of patients suffering from gastric carcinoma.MethodsThe database was retrieved from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chinese Biomedical literature Database (CBM), Chinese Scientific and Journal Database (VIP), Wan Fang database, PubMed, and EMBASE. Hazard ratios (HRs) and its 95% confidence interval (CIs) were applied to assess the prognostic effects of TUG1 on overall survival (OS). RevMan 5.3 software was adopted to perform meta-analysis.ResultsThe results of this meta-analysis would be submitted to peer-reviewed journals for publication.ConclusionThis review provided a comprehensive overview of the relationship between TUG1 and the prognosis of patients with gastric carcinoma, and offered recommendations for clinical practices or guidelines.
